bad day

JPS29

Ah, right I was aware of the scam, also the overpaying and then asking for a refund etc, Just didn't know it as the 419

The wind up comment was a joke I hope you realise.
I've sold hundreds of mobiles, never had a problem. I do occasionally get asked to ship abroad, but it's rare. And I've not blocked emails from members in countries I don't ship to.
It's not fair. I want some awkward punters.

I'll just refer my next awkward punter to you, macfly.

Why doesn't this setting in my preferences work?

Don't allow blocked buyers to contact me. (Buyer will not see the "Contact Seller" button on your Q&A page.)

Sorry macfly, I'm a bit over sensitive at the moment I really wasn't kidding about having a bad day.

Still at least Amazon have confirmed to me that it is unrealistic for a buyer to expect a refund for non delivery after 5 months, but then my son just phoned to say that hsi new Dell laptop has broken again. Once again it says there is no hard drive detected, it has already been away once and had a new hard drive fitted under warranty but he's now back at uni and needs this laptop desperately to do his course work.

My stance has always been to have two cheaper laptops rather than one razzle dazzle one. Running an online business a working unit is vital. I buy mine at auction, both I use now have scratches on the screen. Cost less than £200 apiece.

I'm so untechie it defies belief so I buy new and hope for the best. The one thing i would really like locally is a good basic PC guru who can fix things- the guy we used to use went off the rails a bit and actually broke the last two laptops we took in for repair (both are still here sitting in the corner of my office looking forlorn).

To add my pennyworth, my parents have always encouraged me to save up for a decent item or bought me it for birthday, Christmas, and so on. I'd not necessarily go for a high-spec item, but I'd rather buy new all the same - better warranty if things go wrong (and this Toshiba laptop had a faulty DC jack which was a "known issue" and thus even though the computer was out of guarantee, it still got fixed by a place just up the road from us for free).

my advice is to go outside, soak up some of the sunshine that's about most of the uk today, take some deep breaths, enjoy a little nature, make yourself a nice drink. don't let the nutters unbalance you! best wishes

Block, Report and move on... You need to be wary of these people trying to wreck future sales but
you cannot be paranoid about it.

I rarely sell and everytime i do ask myself if its going to be worth selling or just bung it in the bin.
